Natural Stone Mortar

Hand-carved, heavy stone mortar, made of limestone or granite. A true statement, sculptural piece, which adds textural charm to any space, even when not in use.

Likely used many years ago for crushing herbs or garlic and preparing spices. These mortars were essential tools in rural French, Spanish and Italian kitchens in the early 1900s.

The warm, earthy tone of this mortar pairs beautifully with copper, wood and linen. The textured stone will bring character to any kitchen. We would use this to display kitchen essentials like garlic or lemons or as a standalone, statement styling piece. It adds a collected, elevated feel to any open shelves or console.

This piece has natural stone variations, mineral deposits and an organic texture. Signs of wear are part of its charm. Measuring approximately 10cm in height and 18cm in width. Hand wash only.
